Tower Editor

Hello, I'm trying to make a custom window to edit the towers in my game.

Each tower has different variables. Here's how I'm initializing them:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Tower : MonoBehaviour {
2.     public struct tower_base{
3.         public string tower_name;
4.         public GameObject prefab;
5.         public int metal_cost;
6.         public int crystal_cost;
7.     };
8.  
9.     public tower_base[] tower = new tower_base[0];
10. }

Now, on the custom window codes, I'm creating a window for each tower and a button to add a new tower.
When I add a new tower, I add that tower to the tower_base variable from the gameobject holding the Tower script, and ofc I duplicate the array to add +1 to its size and then set the values back.


All of this works, but when I start the game, everything goes back to zero. All the towers are lost. Why is this happening? Shouldn't it be saved since the variables are in a game object?

Thanks, I will look into that, I had never used serialization! Time to learn
